Getting Started

Install Guide

A. Design, Installation & Location Considerations

1. Appliance Location

Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you must consider the location of:

NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.

• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.

• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and permits.

• Windows

• Air Intakes

• Air Conditioner

• Overhang, soffits, porch roofs, adjacent walls

• Landscaping, vegetation

• Horizontal or vertical vent termination

2. Floor Support

It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor protection, before actually beginning the installation. Location of the appliance and chimney will affect performance.

The supporting floor under the appliance must be able to handle the weight of the appliance, fuel load and the weight of the chimney.

Consideration must be given to:

• Safety, convenience, traffic flow

• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector and to minimize the use of chimney offsets.

Ensure that your floor will support these weights prior to installation. Add sufficient additional support to meet this weight requirement prior to installation. The weight of the appliance is 429 lbs.

WARNING • Place the appliance where there will be a clear passage for a Listed chimney through the ceiling and roof (vertical) or through exterior wall (horizontal).

• Installing the required outside air kit will affect the location of the vent termination.

Risk of Fire

Damaged parts could impair safe operation. Do

NOT install damaged, incomplete or substitute components.

When locating vent and venting termination, the ideal location is to vent above roof line when possible. This minimizes the affects of wind loading.

CAUTION

If burning shelled field corn, you must use approved venting specifically designed for corn to prevent corrosion or degradation. Follow the instructions from the venting manufacturer.

Recommended Location:

• Above peak

Recommended Location:

NOTICE:

Do NOT Terminate Vent:

• In any location that will allow flue gases or soot from entering or staining the building

• In any location which could create a nuisance or hazard

• In any enclosed or semi-enclosed area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a sun deck or porch, narrow walkway

• Closely fenced area, or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes such as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.

NOTICE:

Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation.

• It is recommended that at least 60 inches (1.52m) of vertical pipe be installed when appliance is vented directly through a wall. This will create a natural draft, which will help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor venting into the home during a power outage.

• It will also keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard by exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures.

• The safest and preferred venting method is to extend the vent vertically through the roof or above the roof.

May 2, 2014 9 7034-277B

MT. VERNON AE

B. Avoiding Smoke and Odors

Negative Pressure, Shut-Down and Electrical Power

Failure

Vent Configurations

To reduce probability of reverse drafting during shut-down conditions Hearth & Home Technologies strongly recommends:

To reduce the probability of back-drafting or burn-back in the pellet appliance during power failure or shut down conditions, it must be able to draft naturally without exhaust blower operation.

Negative pressure in the house will resist this natural draft if not accounted for in the pellet appliance installation.

Heat rises in the house and leaks out at upper levels. This air must be replaced with cold air from outdoors which flows into lower levels of the house.

Vents and chimneys into basements and lower levels of the house can become the conduit for air supply and reverse under these conditions.

Outside Air

An outside air kit is recommended in all installations. The

Outside Air Kit must be ordered separately.

Per national building codes, consideration must be given to combustion air supply to all combustion appliances. Failure to supply adequate combustion air for all appliance demands may lead to backdrafting of those and other appliances.

• Installing the pellet vent with a minimum vertical run of

5 feet (1.52m). Preferably terminating above the roof line.

• Installing the outside air kit at least 4 feet (1.22m) below the vent termination.

To prevent soot damage to exterior walls of the house and to prevent re-entry of soot or ash into the house:

• Maintain specified clearances to windows, doors and air inlets, including air conditioners.

• Vents should not be placed below ventilated soffits.

Run the vent above the roof.

• Avoid venting into alcove locations.

• Vents should not terminate under overhangs, decks or onto covered porches.

• Maintain minimum clearance of 12 inches (305mm) from the vent termination to the exterior wall. If you see deposits developing on the wall, you may need to extend this distance to accommodate your installation conditions.

When the appliance is roof vented (strongly recommended):

The air intake is best located on the exterior wall oriented towards the prevailing wind direction during the heating season.

When the appliance is side-wall vented:

The air intake is best located on the same exterior wall as the exhaust vent outlet and located lower on the wall than the exhaust vent outlet.

CAUTION

• DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SER-

VICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR

SYSTEM.

Optional Battery Back-Up

The outside air supply kit can supply most of the demands of the pellet appliance, but consideration must be given to the total house demand.

House demand may consume the air needed for the appliance. It may be necessary to add additional ventilation to the space in which the pellet appliance is located.

Consult with your local HVAC professional to determine the ventilation demands for your house.

Hearth & Home Technologies supplies an optional battery back-up system that operates the appliance during power failure conditions to prevent smoking. In shutdown mode, the battery back-up will not prevent smoking.

Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for, nor does the warranty extend to, smoke damage caused by reverse drafting of pellet appliances under shut down or power failure conditions.

10 7034-277B May 2, 2014

C. Negative Pressure

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available for the appliance to operate properly. It can be strongest in lower levels of the house.

Causes include:

• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)

• Range hoods

• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters and other combustion appliances

• Clothes dryers

• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning

• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system

• Upper level air leaks such as:

- Recessed lighting

- Attic hatch

- Duct leaks

MT. VERNON AE

D. Draft

Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent an appliance successfully. When an appliance is drafting successfully, all combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the chimney.

Install through the warm airspace enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during lighting and die-down of the fire.

Considerations for successful draft include:

• Preventing negative pressure

• Location of appliance and chimney

NOTICE

HEARTH & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the chimney system caused by:

• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions

• Downdrafts

• Tight sealing construction of the structure

• Mechanical exhausting devices

To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:

• Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing winds during the heating season

• Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion appliances and exhaust equipment

• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance

• Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or small isolated spaces

• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design

• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed

• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams taped or sealed

WARNING

Risk of Asphyxiation!

Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot.

E. Chimney and Exhaust Connection

1.

Chimney & Connector: Use 3 or 4 inch (76-102mm) diameter type “L” or “PL” venting system. It can be vented vertically or horizontally.

2.

Mobile Home: Approved for all Listed pellet vent. If using the 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter Kit or the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent Offset Adapter, use Listed double wall flue connector. A Quadra-Fire Outside Air Kit must be used with manufactured home installations.

3.

Residential: The 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter

Kit and the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent Offset Adapter are tested to use 24 gauge single wall flue connector or

Listed double wall flue connector to Class A Listed metal chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting International

Residential Code standards for solid fuel appliances.

4.

INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE

VENT MANUFACTURER.

5. Secure exhaust venting system to the appliance with at least 3 screws. Also secure all connector pipe joints with at least 3 screws through each joint.

6. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST

VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.

7. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE

SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

May 2, 2014

NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever possible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone (500°F

G. Pipe Selection Chart

The chart will help you in determining proper venting size according to the equivalent feet of pipe calculated previously and the altitude above sea level of this installation.

Figure 12.2

a. Locate the calculated equivalent feet of pipe on the vertical left side of the chart. b. Move to the right horizontally on the chart until you reach your altitude above sea level.

c. If you fall below the diagonal line, 3 or 4 inch (76 to 102mm) pipe may be used. d. If it is anywhere above the diagonal line, a 4 inch (102mm) diameter pipe is required.

NOTICE:

• A 90° elbow is 5 times as restrictive to the flow of exhaust gases under positive pressure as 1 foot (305mm) of horizontal pipe.

• A foot of horizontal pipe is twice as restrictive as a foot of vertical pipe.

Mobile Home Installation

You must use a Quadra-Fire Outside Air Kit for installation in a mobile home.

1. An outside air inlet must be provided for the combustion air and must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice and/or snow. It must be unrestricted while the appliance is in use to prevent room air starvation which causes smoke spillage. Smoke spillage can also set off smoke alarms.

2. The combustion air duct system must be made of metal.

It must permit zero clearance to combustible construction and prevent material from dropping into the inlet or into the area beneath the dwelling and contain a rodent screen.

3. The appliance must be secured to the mobile home structure by bolting it to the floor (using lag bolts). Use the same holes that secured the appliance to the shipping pallet.

4. The appliance must be grounded with #8 solid copper grounding wire or equivalent, terminated at each end with an NEC approved grounding device.

5. Refer to Clearances to Combustibles and floor protection requirements on page 8 for listings to combustibles and appropriate chimney systems.

6. Use silicone to create an effective vapor barrier at the location where the chimney or other component penetrates to the exterior of the structure.

7. Follow the chimney manufacturer’s instructions when installing the vent system for use in a mobile home.

8. Installation shall be in accordance with the Manufacturers

Home & Safety Standard (HUD) CFR 3280, Part 24.

CAUTION

THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE

HOME FLOOR, WALL AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE

MAINTAINED

Do NOT cut through:

• Floor joist, wall, studs or ceiling trusses.

• Any supporting material that would affect the structural integrity.

This unit is to be connected to a factory-built chimney conforming to CAN/ULC-S629, Standard for 650°C Factory-Built Chimneys.

CAUTION

Never draw outside combustion air from:

• Wall, floor or ceiling cavity

• Enclosed space such as an attic or garage

WARNING

It is critical to have a working smoke detector

installed in the home of unit operation.

• Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained play a vital role in reducing fire deaths and injuries. Having a working smoke alarm reduces the chance of fire related injuries.

WARNING

NEVER INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM.

WARNING

Products of combustion generate carbon monoxide and different fuels generate different levels. Carbon monoxide

• Only use approved fuels in this appliance.

• Always keep door shut during operation. Operating this unit with doors open can allow CO to leak into the home.

CO can kill you before you are aware it is in your home.

At lower levels of exposure, CO causes mild effects that are often mistaken for the flu. These symptoms include headaches, dizziness, disorientation, nausea and fatigue.

The effects of CO exposure can vary greatly from person to person depending on age, overall health and the concentration and length of exposure.
